I wanted to share news of the Remembrance Expedition - a big challenge being taken on by ex-Olympic gymnast Suzanne Dando and eight inspirational women, including Royal Navy medic Kate Nesbitt MC - one of only two women to receive the Military Cross, Jo Salter - the RAF's first female fast jet fighter pilot and Moira Cameron - the first female Beefeater.

The team are trekking across the Pyrenees on September 14th in order to raise £100,000 for The Royal British Legion's care of injured Armed Forces personnel. They will follow Le Chemin de la Liberte, a treacherous route taken by legendary WWII French Resistance fighter and SOE agent Nancy Wake as she escaped the Gestapo en route to Spain.
